What the hell did he think he was going to do? Run through 5 defenders like fuckin' Walter Payton or some shit?
He was channelling all the Pats fans who invented pro football fandom as we know it and are all about playing the right way and wanking motion, etc., etc

we're all smart enough to realize that Garoppolo doesn't get squared up by Nelson if his left knee doesn't blow when he plants, right?

Not really my style. I've made a ton of wrong predictions.

And I don't want people to follow my rules, honestly.
Just trying to cleverly refer to the upset in progress.

Not much any RB can do when they get hit three yards in the backfield.

If nothing else Brady needs to start taking Super PEDs as opposed to whatever PEDs he’s been taking.

The D is hot garbage, but they're really missing Edleman. Takes pressure of Gronk and gives Brady those nice 7-9 yd gains that Eldeman turns into 1sts.

Last two games the Pats had nothing on their first couple of drives and got down quick. The to score or at least give the d more than 2 minutes on the sideline.
Did you see that ludicrous display last night?

Dunno about edelman. Coming off injury far from a given that he can get separation too. Ordinarily you would lean on the running game but they but some eggs in Jeremy hills basket and cut decent to good power running options they had. They'll need to get something downfield and they don't have it without cooks. Gordon just seems like failure now or later.

Presumably when all three teams regularly made the playoffs in the 90s, yes.

The last time the Browns won and the others didn't lose was November 2, 2014. Buffalo and Detroit had a bye. BUT!

A week before that, they all won. Cleveland beat the 0-6 Raiders. Buffalo beat the 1-6 Jets (Kyle Orton vs. Michael Vick) and Detroit came from 21-0 down to beat the 1-5 Falcons with a FG at the gun.

ESPN having Jeff Triplette as their "rules expert" doesn't inspire a lot of confidence.

I loved it back in the day when Dr. Z would go off in a column about how bad Triplette was.

Because I'm in St. Louis and they have the sound on the Cardinals game and everything sucks I didn't get why that wasn't a TD for Evans. Looked like he wasn't touched before he got back on his feet and ran toward the end zone.

Back in my hotel room now. I love that when Tessitore appears to only grudgingly say "Booger" MacFarlane. His voice drops like three octaves.

It really is a terrible broadcast team. The schtick of the Booger on the moving cart is almost comical.

Fitzpatrick definitely recovered enough in the 2nd half to keep his job for a little bit longer, until he fully melts down. Generally that comes the day after he signs a $10+ mil contract.

I like Booger. He's not afraid to voice opinions. Witten adds nothing except the occasional cliche. The play by play guy is just the generic dude in the role.

Tessitore is one of those rare guys that is just more suited to call the college game. It really is rare because in theory a PbP guy is a PbP guy and football is football, but there's something about his voice and his mien that is much more suited to college. Keith Jackson was the same way. Gus Johnson too probably. It's not a criticism as much as a matter of personality.

Tessitore is a really good boxing announcer, but he's treating 10 yard gains like knockout punches.

And Booger is fine, but his cart is comical. He should be in the booth and Whitten should be calling Conference USA games.

And on a positive note, I thought Nantz and Romo were great during the Bills-Vikings game. (Although I was in such a good mood it could have been Dierdorf calling the game with Beth Mowins and I would have been fine.)

I'm not certain, but it seems like Booger's cart is an add-on to the sideline camera cart that drives up and down the field, enabling him to be an on-field analyst while not being stuck in one end zone, watching on a monitor like Tony Siragusa used to do (in addition to moving down the sideline, he's elevated enough to see over the players on the bench). It looks ridiculous every time they put him on camera, but at least enables him to be closer to the action, particularly the line play, which would theoretically be his area of expertise. If they showed him less, I don't think it would seem as absurd.

Witten insinuated that the rougher the passer calls were "left-wing". Whatever the hell that means.

The new ESPN President has made a big deal about “keeping politics out of sports” and has reduced the role given to several of the network’s more outspoken liberals. But there’s a less than 0% chance Witten gets any type of warning for Trumpist comments like that.
